What kind of moronic idea is this? How does giving away the most coveted technology help Europe in any way?

In order to forget, one must first have remembered something, so probably no.

I can see how some tariffs might help us compete with Mexico but are we really getting targeted by every other country or are we on the wrong side of this?

Waw, just... I can't even...

Are they going to rename the freedom fries to vassal fries now?

The cognitive dissonance of this guy is unbelievable.

Yeah, for the EU, China will have to open up its economy for open and fair competition, get rid of its IP sharing requirements and stop manipulating the Renminbi to keep it artificially low. Even then it should be quota based to stop them from dumping practices to take out local competitors.

Not expulsion, there is no mechanism for that. Voting right suspension and no cohesion funds are the maximum punishment possible under the EU constitution. That would require ratification by all other members though, so as long as there is one government (Slovakia being the most likely) blocking that, not much happens. That wouldn't make the point moot to take those steps. Governments change and the groundwork can already be laid for it, or pressure piled on the blocking countries.

And then what? He will just ignore them, then stack the courts if not simply replace the SC judges. Who is going to stop him at this point? He got away with every single crime in his life, of which there are too many to count. He's ignoring court orders and ruling by illegal executive orders. Nothing but an armed insurrection is going to stop him now.

This ship has sailed and won't change course without a mutiny.

Well, she still committed financial fraud. It's more the judiciary doing its job. Sarkozy was also convicted after his presidency.

He is, but special military operations are not off the table.
